Battlefield 3 trailer details Battlelog

A new Battlefield 3 trailer takes a closer look at the Battlelog feature.

Now that the Battlefield 3 beta is open to all, it seems like a good time to take a closer look at the Battlelog. The stat tracking and social networking feature takes some cues from EA's Autolog, but adds some features more attuned to the shooter crowd.

In the new trailer, DICE details the post-game chat functions, leaderboards, and competitive incentives. The PC tools are a particular focus, since Battlelog will serve as the game's launcher and friends list as well. The trailer also briefly touches on platoons, which are detailed in the latest Battleblog. Essentially, platoons are gaming clans, with their own platoon-specific stat-tracking, leaderboards, and group chats.

Check out the trailer below for the full breakdown of features.
